Is this a phase.....

My DD will 4 in a couple weeks and has always been outgoing & wanting to be around other people & children. Starting last week, she didn't want to play in her Soccer gam & today she didn't want to participate in gymnastics. She finally decided to do the gymnastics. This is so unlike her! is this a phase or is she becoming shy or what?

It could be a phase. It was only two activities that she didn't want to do, so it's hard to tell without a repeated action on her part. She's only three years old though, so it may be too much for her anymore to be doing all of these activities. Talk with her and ask her why she doesn't want to participate anymore. She might help you shed light on the matter.
